Welcome to the York University Association of Graduate Students in the Biological Sciences (YorkU AGSBS) website!
What is the AGSBS?
The Association of Graduate Studies in the Biological Sciences (AGSBS) represents all biology graduate students (MSc and PhD) at York University in Toronto, Ontario.
Our members come from many different fields of biology including:
- Cell and Molecular Biology
- Animal and Plant Physiology
- Ecology and Evolution
We host events throughout the year for our members and host an annual symposium where we showcase the biology graduate student research happening at York University!
“Biology & Beyond: An Expedition to a World of Science”
Join us for the first AGSBS Biology Symposium back in-person since 2019! We are proud to announce the 49th annual AGSBS Biology Symposium will be held Thursday, May 11th, 2023 at the Schulich Executive Learning Centre (ELC). We invite all graduate students to submit an abstract to present their research in a poster format or a talk!
At this year’s symposium, we will host two Keynote Speakers, Dr. Anna Banerji and Dr. Anna Ampaw, plus 6 student talks and 20 poster presentations. The symposium will conclude with a career workshop facilitated by York Alumni Dr. Chun Chih Chen.
